<h3><a id="Additional_Information"></a><a id="additional_information"></a><a id="ADDITIONAL_INFORMATION"></a>Additional Information</h3>
<p>For more information about the Debugger Command window prompt, see <a href="#Bookmark1265">Using Debugger Commands</a>.</p>
<h2>Remarks</h2>
<p>If you use the <b>.pcmd</b> command without parameters, the current prompt command is displayed.</p>
<p>When you set a prompt command by using <b>.pcmd -s</b>, the specified <i>CommandString</i> is issued whenever the target stops executing (for example, when a <a href="#Bookmark1997"><b>g</b></a>, <a href="#Bookmark2017"><b>p</b></a>, or <a href="#Bookmark2033"><b>t</b></a> command ends). The <i>CommandString</i> command is not issued when you use a non-execution command, unless that command displays registers or target state information.</p>
<p>In the following example, the first use of <b>.pcmd</b> sets a fixed string that appears with the prompt. The second use of <b>.pcmd</b> causes the debugger to display the target's current process ID and thread ID every time that the prompt appears. The special prompt does not appear after the <a href="#Bookmark2199"><b>.ttime</b></a> command is used, because that command does not involve execution.</p>
